This is my child's 1st year at ICEF he is in the advanced kindergarten class with teacher Ms. Lopez. My son is very intelligent for his grade and age. Ms. Lopez is an Extremely Talented Teacher who knows how to focus in on the strengths of her students. My son is currently performing at 2nd grade level. I also would like to state that the Admin faculty is AWESOME, Ms. Wells, Ms. Howard, and Mrs. Owens-Lincoln and the after school program Ms. Dana! These are kind hearted individuals/staff that make you feel comfortable entrusting them with the care of your child. Thank You ICEF, I pray your staff continues to be a pillar in the Inglewood community!

ICEF Inglewood was horrible experience for me and my child! His teacher did not know how to discipline her class whatsoever! Calls home based on things things other children said, never seen or heard by her or school staff! I gave the useless Parent Liason my contact information several times and never received "phone blast" regarding school meetings and other important issues! ICEF Inglewood was a pain! I loved the academics, but the negative factors out weighed the positive. No other activities for the children to participate in, which is a shame because children need an outlet! I hope they get it together for the upcoming school year, but needless to say, my child will not be returning!

This is a wonderful school with great parent support. It's a very small close knit community of parents, and students. The staff is very professional and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend this school to any parent looking for a challenging academic program for their child.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
